Are you a Free Software developer trying to access hardware or

software features under Article 6(7) of the Digital Markets Act
|

(DMA)? We want to hear from you! Share your experience about how
|

gatekeepers are handling your interoperability request.

<p>The <a
|
||
href="https://survey.fsfe.org/index.php/699938?lang=en">FSFE’s
|
||
Interoperability Survey</a> aims to collect structured feedback from
|
||
Free Software developers, also known as “access seekers”, about their
|
||
experience requesting interoperability under Article 6(7) of the
|
||
Digital Markets Act (DMA). This article requires designated
|
||
“gatekeepers” to provide, free of charge, access to the software and
|
||
hardware features of their Core Platform Services (CPS). The goal is
|
||
to foster innovation and support alternative solutions developed by
|
||
the Free Software community.</p>

<h2>The Digital Markets Act and Interoperability</h2>
|
||
<p>The <a href="http:///activities/dma/dma.html">Digital Markets Act (DMA)</a> is a
|
||
landmark European regulation aimed at curbing the power of large digital
|
||
platforms. Under the DMA, these companies must allow interoperability
|
||
with their software and hardware features, promoting competition,
|
||
innovation, and user choice.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Specifically, <strong><strong>Article 6(7)</strong></strong> empowers
|
||
developers to request access to technical functionalities that were
|
||
previously restricted. This creates new opportunities for Free Software
|
||
projects, and for users to benefit from greater choice and control. </p>
|
||
This provision opens the door for Free Software alternatives to services currently dominated by gatekeepers, such as payment systems, app stores, or messaging platforms. Free Software is contained in 90% of today’s technology and its relevance is therefore crucial in a fair and just implementation of the DMA.
|
||
|
||
<h2>Why Your Input Matters</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
At the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE), we are committed to
|
||
making sure these rights are not just theoretical. We are gathering
|
||
first-hand experiences from developers who have submitted, or are
|
||
planning to submit, interoperability requests to gatekeepers such as
|
||
Apple, Google, Microsoft, and others. For a complete list of all
|
||
gatekeepers and their designated Core Platform Services visit this <a
|
||
href="https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/gatekeepers_en">page</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Your insights will help us:</p>
|
||
<ul class="incremental">
|
||
<li>Identify common obstacles for Free Software and patterns of non-compliance.</li>
|
||
<li>Report issues to the European Commission.</li>
|
||
<li>Advocate for enforcement that supports Free Software and small
|
||
developers.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Whether your request was accepted, denied, delayed, or ignored - we
|
||
want to hear from you!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Gatekeepers’ compliance is not automatic. Many Free Software
|
||
developers still face vague procedures, delays, or rejections. Others
|
||
may not know how or where to start their request. By sharing your
|
||
experience, you help strengthen the case for clear, fair, and
|
||
developer-friendly implementation of the DMA. Together, we can ensure
|
||
that these new rights translate into real-world opportunities for Free
|
||
Software.</p>
